EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Egyptian cavalry in all its glory. Taken by the Belgian School in the 19th century, it beautifully captures three mounted soldiers donning different uniforms, each representing a unique aspect of their culture and heritage. The first soldier is adorned with a helmet and cuirass, exuding strength and power as he confidently wields his drawn sword. The second soldier wears a turban and carries a mace, symbolizing tradition and resilience. Lastly, the third soldier is dressed in a burnous and keffiyeh, emanating elegance and grace. Handcoloured to perfection, this woodcut engraving from Auguste Wahlens' "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" transports us back to an era where horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also an art form. It reflects the rich history of Egypt's cavalry while showcasing their distinctive style. The pseudonym behind this remarkable work is Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer (1801-1875), who served as both writer and archivist for Belgium's Heraldic Department. His attention to detail brings life to every stroke of this handcoloured woodcut. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the diverse cultures that exist around the world. It serves as a testament to how fashion choices can reflect one's tribe, nation or lifestyle. Moreover, it highlights the bravery and skill exhibited by these warriors on horseback. Incorporating elements of history, military prowess, fashion trends and cultural diversity into one frame; this print truly captivates our imagination.
